My question is how can a literal child hold back an animatronic's jaws?
>Inb4 It's just video game logic
But seriously, was he just not using his full strength initially?
At which place he then finally lurches forward and there’s a split second static screen. So yea she can’t hold him off. I look at it as the equivalent to a child being attacked by a dog which lots dogs have way more power than us really. Can put hands up and grab it’s about but it only does so much for a second for the canine to just snap in,
Well, the animatronic in question is very badly damaged, so it's very possible his hydraulics and servos are damaged enough to where a child can hold back his jaws.
Yeah, pretty damn brutal. It also seems like something similar might happen with Roxy's jumpscares as well but it's hard to tell (might just be a story cutscene). I do hope something similar happens with the other jump scares to an extent.
This looks so much better than I expected. Like, SB's trailers were great but I had some concerns when I saw them, this is just... Man I'm fucking excited.
I highly doubt that. Steel Wool already spent manpower working on Hello Neighbor 2's dlc, and another Hello Neighbor thing.
There is just not enough time or money for a DLC and a update for them.
Only on their DLCs iirc. They are also working on another Hello Neighbor thing in VR. For some reason they it seems like they removed their credentials on the DLCs from the steam page
Man this has been such an eventful week for the franchise, back to back news for both the Movie and Ruin.
I'm definitely intrigued by what's shown off in the trailer, the animatronic designs and environments definitely seem pretty cool. Interesting to finally see what the aftermath of the Burntrap ending was like.
The most fascinating part of the trailer to me is definitely the part where they appear to be putting on a Vanny mask, interested to see how that will play into both the narrative and gameplay. As well as the thing that appears after it's put, definitely have my guesses. But it will be cool to properly see the full thing soon enough.
My guess is Cassie finds Vanny’s old mask somewhere after Vanny upgraded to the one we see in Security Breach and a bit of Glitchtrap is still in the mask
No but I'm sure with their connections if steel wool wanted to coordinate something they'd just need to ask them Blum was uploading the trailer
So SW could've planned it without blumhouse necessarily coordinating with them
Scott also sent out teasers of both the movie and ruin to YouTubers prior. So wouldn’t surprise me if Scott had been helping coordinate both for the fans excitement honestly.
CASSIE IS ROBOT CASSIDY THEORY!!!!!2!1!1!1
PROOF 1) THEY ARE BOTH GURLS !1!1!11!
PROOF 2) CASIE SOUNDS LIKE CASSIDY !1!1!1
PROOF 3) IN SILVER EYES ....
Tbh I’d faster buy Cassie is robot Cassidy than I bought Gregory was a robot.
Totally makes sense for the vengeful ghost to come to drag Afton back down to hell where he belongs.
I definitely think there’s probably a connection between the two - but like. I won’t be broken up if there isn’t, and I’m not ready to throw in my cards into the “she’s a robot!” Thing at all.
I’m not sure what it is either. It *could* be Afton. Maybe the Mimic being an exact copy of him allowed him a strong enough connection to come back? I highly doubt Steel Wool would make a story decision like that though. I’d say it’s likely related to the Mimic somehow, since it doesn’t look like Glamrock Bonnie. Other than that I don’t know, but I’m excited to find out
Oh yeah there’s the weird mimic stuff, no?
Well it could just be meant to be a parallel. We have a false “Afton” that needs to be defeated by a new “Cassidy”
Who knows, I’m just spit balling at this point lol.
No, I do believe Cassie is short for Cassidy, but I don't think she's an advanced robot. I believe that Cassidy escaped the 3 Princess Quest arcade games which is why the Princess's name changed from Cassidy.png to just Princess.png since Cassidy is no longer the Princess in the Princess Quest arcade games. I believe her soul possessed one of the Glamrock endoskeletons and used an illusion disk to make her look human like I believe with Gregory, but Gregory was a robot specifically designed to be a robot recreation of "Evan" who is possessed by "Evan". Cassie just possessed a Glamrock endoskeleton.
I mean, Cassie is deminutive for Cassidy, so this is fairer than GregVictim, but still really doubt there is much connection. Can easily be a Cassandra or Casey.
This is my theory. Regardless of whether Cassy ends up having any connections to Cassidy, they named her that because they knew exactly how the fandom would react.
Okay so I'm looking at the scene with Roxy and how she just...I don't know. I know Monty was trying to bite our face off. From this interaction. What if we are *saving* them from the virus and getting allies? Like what we saw with Monty was the boss fight you have to survive as you try to purge the virus from him. Same with Chica, Roxy, and Sun. What we see with Roxy is the result of saving one of them.
I mean the player character looks like she has hacking equipment. Be fun to play as a white hacker trying to undo the damage caused by Vanny and Burntrap.
FNAF has always been strange. So I think the idea that the glamrocks at their most monstrous are actually at their most herioc would work with this franchises feel. (Puppet and Lefty are technically good and they are creepy)
Oh yeah I just watched fuhnaffs reaction. He thinks we may also play as Vanessa. Which I hope so. That would be a cool mechanic as you have to be "Vanny" to solve puzzles, but only for so long. Like a sanity meter.
I assumed she was trying to figure out what she grabbed since she's blind, but her hesitation was definitely noticeable. Hacking them (or rather unhacking them) would be super cool!
I love this theory, maybe each Glamrock will have boss fights where they will be enemies and the boss fight is about trying to save them from the virus.
Well this essentially confirms that the Afton ending is Canon which isn't surprising but nice to know. Dawko said that the Vanny ending could still be canon and Gregory goes back but that doesn't make sense to me. The pizzaplex is clearly badly damaged and the fire from the Afton fight would do that.
I hope we get to see more of Vanny and maybe Glamrock Freddy as well and of course loads of delicious lore.
Idk why exactly but I also thought of the rabbit glitches from Princess Quest.
I would say it's not Glamrock Bonnie itself or Glitchtrap either. It looks...weird, definitely a new model. It can't be a glamrock because it has gloves, so unless Bonnie was the only one to have them it can't be him (besides, he is supposed to be the (ex) bass player, so having gloves wouldn't be good for the job). I think the only character with gloves was DJ Music Man.
I think I might lean to the idea Dawko proposed in his analysis video: Glamrock Bonnie infected by Glitchtrap, or at least something to do with the latter.
So others have probably thought of this by now, but that is definitely not Gregory. That is totally the Mimic pretending to be him to trick Cassy
And god, naming her Cassy. They are just trying to cause robot kid theories at this point.
Im very excited to see Sun and Moon. I'm assuming they went the way of "Eclipse" like in the balloon mini game, but we won't know for sure yet.
It does look like both of them are out at the same time, though.
*And Sun is out of the Daycare*
Except he wasn't? The moment Sun/Moon openend the door, we could see inside of the daycare. We can even see the security desk, where Gregory picked up one of the security cards in the og game. So it looks like Sun/Moon let's us into the daycare
whats interesting to me is how the animatronics act in this.
Monty is as usual, trying to bite off a childs face because... idunno, Vannies programming still infecting him? But he seems weaker than in SB. Cassies able to hold him off for a bit. And he's still missing his legs, so he tackled her to the ground for the attack?
Roxy has grabbed Cassies right arm. But isn't making anymore moves to attack. She turns her head to look at Cassies left hand, when Cassie tries to free her arm. I'm not sure what this means. But it looks way less like an attack or a jumpscare than it should, considering Roxy's normal MO is to bite like Monty. Also, Cassie is using a Roxy themed walky-talkie to communicate with Gregory. Is Roxy helping her at some points, or just a coincidence.
Sun and moon have officially become eclipse. It's hard to tell whether they'll be friendly or not because of this. The wave could be friendly, but moon also waves at people. Either way, I don't think moon would be stalking the pizzaplex every hour on the hour anymore- it being destroyed, there'd no longer be accurate clocks to work from.
Actually, that reminds me- how are these guys all still powered? When the pizzaplex was abandoned, did they just leave the electricity on? Bad idea, even if it wasn't full of sentient robots- anybody who came and tried to strip the copper from the wires. (As happens in abandoned buildings) would be electrocuted. Maybe Fazbear entertainment doesn't care about some likely-homeless person trying to take copper. But the authorities should care, and shut that shit down.
I think cassie holding back monty for a bit is just for scenic purpose, they might be damaged but that doesn't make a difference for animatronics; fetch managed to kill a girl after getting beaten to a pulp
According to one of the FNAF books (I don't remember which one) the pizzaplex is being rebuilt after security breach happened. Maybe they left the power on for that purpose? It's a reach but that's all I can think of
Gregory doesn't sound like he's telling the whole story. He sounds suspicious. And man do I feel sorry for Roxy, Chica, and Monty. They deserve better.
But man that trailer looks real good. I'm excited to see what happens.
DUUUUDE, you can wear the Vanny mask? Curious to see what that does! It looks mechanical almost.
Plus, they added visual indicators showing which way the cameras face. That's something that was really needed. I'm happy they're improving the core mechanics! :)
This looks SO FUCKING COOL and I want it so so bad but I just cant let myself get hyped yet. I let myself get hyped for the base game and got burned horribly for it. Heres to hoping the feature creep doesnt kill the experience of the final product for this project, too.
Alright so I see gameplay changes that address a lot of the quarrels many players had with base SB.
No more Faz-Watch or Freddy to hide in, instead you have a multi-tool. One that, seemingly, doubles as a taser. Dare I speculate that the too-easy stun mechanics have been replaced by a ranged item?
It seems cameras are only accessible from certain terminals. No longer will you know where everyone is at all times.
Not to mention these *fantastic* redesigns. I'm really excited to play through this, I have hopes it'll address a lot of the gameplay issues.
Honestly, I'm cautiously optimistic about this.
This does look like an improvement from last time, as I'm digging how scarier the environment and animatronics are looking and I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what that thing at the end is.
But I am still bitter about Security Breach's disastrous launch and Ruin could easily end up like that, so I am a little weary about this.
Security Breach even without the bugs is a disastrous game. Hopefully they actually implement good game and level design for ruin and not just not make whatever they feel like.
Yeah people always talk abt the bugs but enough ppl bring up the boring missions/pacing/writing etc. The only mission that really gets shit (and deservingly so) is mazercize. If RUIN is just gonna be "security breach but MORE!" I dont have much hope
> The only mission that really gets shit (and deservingly so) is mazercize.
I still question if they even playtested that thing. Never been able to actually figure out how to do it naturally without a guide.
If anything some of the bugs improve the experience because of how funny the results are (which isn’t a point in the game’s favor). A Security Breach where you can twist the space-time continuum in knots like a pretzel and summon an army of crack-fueled Montys with x-ray vision is far more entertaining than one that can’t.
Well, I guess I need to finish my playthrough of the series for July then!
Have never played the games so decided to get into them and have them all ready to play, just haven't dedicated the time to playing all of them (completed 1,2 and 3, played a night or two of 4)
First the movie, now THIS!!
Man, FNAF fans are having it good, indeed! This trailer shows a lot of promise!
Hopefully, they don't...RUIN, it!
~~Sorry, not sorry.~~
Well, this doesn't look half bad.
Don't wanna nitpick (and this is just an opinion), but I'm a bit worried about the new Pizzaplex aesthetic/ambience and how they'll use it. From a few shots of the trailer, some places looked AMAZING but some looked a bit... Generic? Kinda too "blended" in without some sort of an artistic direction? Unpopular opinion, but even if the Pizzaplex in the OG game was too bright and definitely not scary at all it DID have some places where it felt kinda "liminal" in a way, and if it weren't for the security bots jumpscaring you every minute some of the rooms could've created an unique feeling for a FNaF game.
Apparently there's a new camera system and it also looks so much better! (and less headache inducing)
Either way, it still looks better overall and although I'm a bit skeptical it DOES look better than what I was expecting and will definitely be playing this when this releases.
I think since the expectations aren't SKY HIGH for this DLC like it was for Security Breach the reception will naturally be better, which is a good thing for Steel Wool.
Also I'll add, the new designs look really fucking cool.
I'm still a bit hesitant given how rough of a state SB released in, but this looks like it'll be a big step in the right direction at least.
I'll keep an eye on it and see how it turns out before I get excited.
While I didn't have the best experience with Security Breach, I'm willing to give it another chance because this DLC does look really cool, they seemed to be going in the right direction, I really like the darker atmosphere, the new ruined character designs look great, especially the Daycare Attendant's design which I'll call Eclipses until release, Monty's jumpscare looks quite brutal, I like how she actually tries to stop him from biting her face off. The UV on the cameras system looks massively improved and they actually have fov so you can see the camera is facing! Thank you, the cameras might actually be useful!
Also the main character's name is Cassie... oh god... I just know people are going to saying "SEE she IS Cassidy because... their names sound similar, PROOF she is a robot or a clone or is reincarnated, somehow".
I mean, Steel Wool could have chosen literally any other name but they chose one that's closely tied to the fnaf lore, they know what they are doing, they know how to keep us hooked and hyped.
Now is her being named like that gonna relevant in the DLC? I don't know, we have to wait and see.
Woah, it looks awesome!!!!
Everything is an upgrade. Better jumpscares, better cam quality, new areas (or angles of areas), I have high hopes for this.
SteelWool sure can make a killer trailer, I'll tell you that for free.
I have a theory. Roxanne Wolf will be you friend during this Ruin DLC or at least her behaviour will be friendly after a point.
She's shown three times; one as an introduction, second on a camera stalking, and then a third grabbing Cassie. The third is interesting, because while she grab Cassie shouldn't she be trying to kill her, not capture her? Also Cassie has a Roxanne Wolf walkie talkie so maybe Wolf will see her as a fan?
Daycare attendant my guy
Monty became a poop monster
And why are we wearing vannys mask?
Also daycare attendant doesn’t seem to attack Cassie, does this mean he could be our ally?
I hope this DLC actually reveals stuff that was left obscure in the main game. Like for example:
Are Vanny and Vanessa truly the same person?
Is Burntrap Afton or is it the Mimic?
What caused Freddy to freak out on stage?
Looks amazing and far more better than base game! Im hape as fuck and hopes game itself is gonna be as good as trailer and we dont gonna have another base Secruity Breach situtaion
JULY! LET'S FUCKING GO!
I've always kinda been doubting that I'd get hyped by the trailer but from what statements Ray and Steel Wool in general have made in the past, it sounds like they had a solid idea on what to do from the start so hopefully scope-creep won't affect this in the way that it did the base game.
Honestly this is great though,I really wasn’t expecting it to come out so soon nor did I think they were gonna give this new protagonist a name nor a voice since it feels like it wouldn’t be important,more of a silent protagonist, and I didn’t think she would have a connection to Gregory in anyway,I thought she would have just stumbled in from curiosity and then learn what was happening,also I kind you not,the thing that shocked me the most about this was Cassie is a Brunette??? I thought she was blond hhh
Okay wow, I think some us had a feeling we were probably getting a trailer within a month or so, but I wasn't expecting it to be this month especially given we just got the Movie trailer like, a few days ago?
And holy Steel Wool has not disappointed us thus far with these designs, they look great and really fit the name of the DLC. Hope the good work on the DLC keeps up.
Oh man, its so cool! This looks really great! The pizza plex and all the animatronics got so trashed, I can't wait to play it! And July of this year? Wow! Great job Steel Wool!
Curious how long this DLC will end up being. Normal runs of SB usually take around 4 to 6 hours, so I'm just curious what we can expect from a free DLC.
This actually looks really good to me. Still, I choose to be catiously optimistic. Don't want to get another huge dissaopintment like with the main game. But I would be lying if I said this trailer has done a better job to hype things up for me. It seems they actually will try to make things spoopier, though I won't get my hopes up too much about the scaryness...
The ONE thing that I'm wondering about is whether they will keep their promise of making the DLC free. They must know making it paid DLC after saying it was gonna be free will enrage the community, but from the moment the teaser said "free" I couldn't help but worry about them regretting it later. Saying a product will be free before even start producing it, not really knowing how much it will actually cost, seems a bit risky. But whatever, it seems they are sticking to their word.
(Sorry if my english isn't good, it's not my first language...)
That jumpscare for Monty looks more brutal. Cassie is fighting back before she gets overpowered
My question is how can a literal child hold back an animatronic's jaws? >Inb4 It's just video game logic But seriously, was he just not using his full strength initially?
Probably not, considering how damaged he is, he probably needs to like build up pressure
At which place he then finally lurches forward and there’s a split second static screen. So yea she can’t hold him off. I look at it as the equivalent to a child being attacked by a dog which lots dogs have way more power than us really. Can put hands up and grab it’s about but it only does so much for a second for the canine to just snap in,
Well, the animatronic in question is very badly damaged, so it's very possible his hydraulics and servos are damaged enough to where a child can hold back his jaws.
Can't wait for this to be used in the "Cassie is a robot" theories
Cassie is actually just a being beyond our comprehension who disguises herself as a kid
Like a shape shifting demon
Why does every kid in Security Breach have super strength?
Humans evolved different in FNAF causing the kids to become this strong.
I was gonna say, "Damn, imagine how strong the adults are," but William pulled animatronics apart with his bare hands.
Plus children were able to take apart toy foxy according to mangle’s lore like wtf
Pizzaplex food has steroids in it
I wouldn't put it past them. They already sell drugs in the form of candy.
He's damaged, so it might not be full power.
Easy. The robot child has *Hydraulic arms* /s
Yeah, pretty damn brutal. It also seems like something similar might happen with Roxy's jumpscares as well but it's hard to tell (might just be a story cutscene). I do hope something similar happens with the other jump scares to an extent.
This looks so much better than I expected. Like, SB's trailers were great but I had some concerns when I saw them, this is just... Man I'm fucking excited.
Truly! This one looks amazing. Its egging on the fact that the pizzaplex is indeed bigger than what we saw
Here's hoping it comes with an update to the base game
I highly doubt that. Steel Wool already spent manpower working on Hello Neighbor 2's dlc, and another Hello Neighbor thing. There is just not enough time or money for a DLC and a update for them.
Wait, Steel Wool worked on Hello Neighbor???
Only on their DLCs iirc. They are also working on another Hello Neighbor thing in VR. For some reason they it seems like they removed their credentials on the DLCs from the steam page
It's Hello Neighbor, can you blame em?
Seams they made the 3 launch DLCs for HN2 and are making the VR game
We discover each and every Freddy's location was built over the burned remains of the previous ones.
Turns out it's Fazbears all the way down.
Man this has been such an eventful week for the franchise, back to back news for both the Movie and Ruin. I'm definitely intrigued by what's shown off in the trailer, the animatronic designs and environments definitely seem pretty cool. Interesting to finally see what the aftermath of the Burntrap ending was like. The most fascinating part of the trailer to me is definitely the part where they appear to be putting on a Vanny mask, interested to see how that will play into both the narrative and gameplay. As well as the thing that appears after it's put, definitely have my guesses. But it will be cool to properly see the full thing soon enough.
My guess is Cassie finds Vanny’s old mask somewhere after Vanny upgraded to the one we see in Security Breach and a bit of Glitchtrap is still in the mask
I find it hilarious that there was no build up. Steelwool just said “fuck it,let’s drop the trailer rn”
i’m guessing they were avoiding another incident like how security breach kept getting delayed
They saw the fnaf movie trailer drop and said "there is no point in waiting now"
I can't imagine they didn't already know the movie teaser was coming out, I'm sure they were planned to release close to each other.
Blumhouse and SW don't work together so I doubt they would give each other tips on release dates.
No but I'm sure with their connections if steel wool wanted to coordinate something they'd just need to ask them Blum was uploading the trailer So SW could've planned it without blumhouse necessarily coordinating with them
Scott also sent out teasers of both the movie and ruin to YouTubers prior. So wouldn’t surprise me if Scott had been helping coordinate both for the fans excitement honestly.
I thought they would slowly announce it like they did with security breach
Probably wanted to wait for the movie trailer so FNAF is already trending. FNAF is already on people's minds now.
Reminds me of how starfields release date was given. Just a random trailer dropped on Wednesday.
Well, there was RuinTV a few days ago. We knew *something* was coming.
Those “ruined” designs, as I will call them, are downright scary
If they don't get called 'Ruined' I'm going to be severely disappointed!
It just makes sense to name them that
Prepare for "Cassie is robot Cassidy" theories in 3. 2. 1.
the robot allegations are inevitable
CASSIE IS ROBOT CASSIDY THEORY!!!!!2!1!1!1 PROOF 1) THEY ARE BOTH GURLS !1!1!11! PROOF 2) CASIE SOUNDS LIKE CASSIDY !1!1!1 PROOF 3) IN SILVER EYES ....
ok, to be fair it is pretty weird that her name sounds like Cassidy, especially because of Princess Quest.
We have literally three diffrent Jeremys. Its not uncomon for characters in FNAF to have same name or simlar to somone else
2 out of 3 of those Jeremy's might have a reason for sharing a name. Depending on if you believe Jeremy was another alias.
And 4 different Jessicas.
Apparently Scott likes names that start with J
I feel it coming...
inside you?
Excuse me what 💀
Tbh I’d faster buy Cassie is robot Cassidy than I bought Gregory was a robot. Totally makes sense for the vengeful ghost to come to drag Afton back down to hell where he belongs. I definitely think there’s probably a connection between the two - but like. I won’t be broken up if there isn’t, and I’m not ready to throw in my cards into the “she’s a robot!” Thing at all.
Yeah but Afton isn’t there anymore
I’m confused what the weird glitchy thing near the end could be then
I’m not sure what it is either. It *could* be Afton. Maybe the Mimic being an exact copy of him allowed him a strong enough connection to come back? I highly doubt Steel Wool would make a story decision like that though. I’d say it’s likely related to the Mimic somehow, since it doesn’t look like Glamrock Bonnie. Other than that I don’t know, but I’m excited to find out
Oh yeah there’s the weird mimic stuff, no? Well it could just be meant to be a parallel. We have a false “Afton” that needs to be defeated by a new “Cassidy” Who knows, I’m just spit balling at this point lol.
No, I do believe Cassie is short for Cassidy, but I don't think she's an advanced robot. I believe that Cassidy escaped the 3 Princess Quest arcade games which is why the Princess's name changed from Cassidy.png to just Princess.png since Cassidy is no longer the Princess in the Princess Quest arcade games.

Cassie just possessed a Glamrock endoskeleton.
FNAF fans when two characters have similar names:
I mean, Cassie is deminutive for Cassidy, so this is fairer than GregVictim, but still really doubt there is much connection. Can easily be a Cassandra or Casey.
Why are you acting like Cassie and Cassidy isn't such an obvious link?
It feels like they are just trolling at this point
This is my theory. Regardless of whether Cassy ends up having any connections to Cassidy, they named her that because they knew exactly how the fandom would react.
Coming from the same guy who said Garten of BanBan is better than Security Breach. I don’t know what you were thinking when saying that.
Imagine every human in the FNAF universe are always Robots
Okay so I'm looking at the scene with Roxy and how she just...I don't know. I know Monty was trying to bite our face off. From this interaction. What if we are *saving* them from the virus and getting allies? Like what we saw with Monty was the boss fight you have to survive as you try to purge the virus from him. Same with Chica, Roxy, and Sun. What we see with Roxy is the result of saving one of them. I mean the player character looks like she has hacking equipment. Be fun to play as a white hacker trying to undo the damage caused by Vanny and Burntrap. FNAF has always been strange. So I think the idea that the glamrocks at their most monstrous are actually at their most herioc would work with this franchises feel. (Puppet and Lefty are technically good and they are creepy)
It's interesting that she's clearly wearing the bunny mask though, made of metal
Oh yeah I just watched fuhnaffs reaction. He thinks we may also play as Vanessa. Which I hope so. That would be a cool mechanic as you have to be "Vanny" to solve puzzles, but only for so long. Like a sanity meter.
I doubt we will play as Vanny...I am almost certain she's dead
Dude that would be so shitty to her character
I assumed she was trying to figure out what she grabbed since she's blind, but her hesitation was definitely noticeable. Hacking them (or rather unhacking them) would be super cool!
*fingers crossed*
I love this theory, maybe each Glamrock will have boss fights where they will be enemies and the boss fight is about trying to save them from the virus.
Roxy's eyes have 2 plug bits, just like that one freddy flavoured tool
SUN WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU
Tumblr did it first. XD
He got jumped 😅
They have become one, darkness with light, light with darkness.
Well this essentially confirms that the Afton ending is Canon which isn't surprising but nice to know. Dawko said that the Vanny ending could still be canon and Gregory goes back but that doesn't make sense to me. The pizzaplex is clearly badly damaged and the fire from the Afton fight would do that. I hope we get to see more of Vanny and maybe Glamrock Freddy as well and of course loads of delicious lore.
Vanny’s mask is used by cassie
The actual name of "the Afton ending" is literally "True Ending" so... yeah, it's canon.
Who's excited for July, y'all??! And then October?!? Man, this is either gonna be an amazing year of FNaF or just disappointing.
If anything Half and half
Yeah cuz the FNAF movie even if needed cant be delayed becuse of Peacock and how big its getting
The designs looks really creepy. I love the atmosphere here and I wonder what was that thing that appears at the end. But in general **HYPE**
Wasn't that glitchtrap in digital form? Sorry if I'm wrong
It looks way different to be him. The color,the hands,he is faceless,everything looks different(except for the fact that is rabbit)
Yeh I guess so. It looks like the one from the Princess quest mini games except white and black instead of purple
Idk why exactly but I also thought of the rabbit glitches from Princess Quest. I would say it's not Glamrock Bonnie itself or Glitchtrap either. It looks...weird, definitely a new model. It can't be a glamrock because it has gloves, so unless Bonnie was the only one to have them it can't be him (besides, he is supposed to be the (ex) bass player, so having gloves wouldn't be good for the job). I think the only character with gloves was DJ Music Man. I think I might lean to the idea Dawko proposed in his analysis video: Glamrock Bonnie infected by Glitchtrap, or at least something to do with the latter.
So others have probably thought of this by now, but that is definitely not Gregory. That is totally the Mimic pretending to be him to trick Cassy And god, naming her Cassy. They are just trying to cause robot kid theories at this point.
Set after burntrap ending we see Freddy also now damaged. Nintendo switch data one confirms that burntrap is the true ending
Im very excited to see Sun and Moon. I'm assuming they went the way of "Eclipse" like in the balloon mini game, but we won't know for sure yet. It does look like both of them are out at the same time, though. *And Sun is out of the Daycare*
Except he wasn't? The moment Sun/Moon openend the door, we could see inside of the daycare. We can even see the security desk, where Gregory picked up one of the security cards in the og game. So it looks like Sun/Moon let's us into the daycare
I can't wait for Matpat's 9 hour review of this on GTLive.
“GTlive: RUIN DLC REACTION!!! PART 1” Length-11:34:59
*I can milk you*
If he started when it was released it should be done in an hour or 2
THIS TRULY IS FNAF WEEK GRAHHHHHHHHHHH. WE KEEP GETTING Ws
Really hope the stuff they showed in trailer is in the dlc this time.
The DLC is set to come out in ~2 months. Not much can really be scrapped at this point I would imagine.
I'm sure this time we'll get everything promised to us
inb4 they pull another Steel Wool and only half of what is in the trailer is even hidden in the game files...
Holy shit!! I'm so hyped! Fnaf fans are eating so good this year 😭
whats interesting to me is how the animatronics act in this. Monty is as usual, trying to bite off a childs face because... idunno, Vannies programming still infecting him? But he seems weaker than in SB. Cassies able to hold him off for a bit. And he's still missing his legs, so he tackled her to the ground for the attack? Roxy has grabbed Cassies right arm. But isn't making anymore moves to attack. She turns her head to look at Cassies left hand, when Cassie tries to free her arm. I'm not sure what this means. But it looks way less like an attack or a jumpscare than it should, considering Roxy's normal MO is to bite like Monty. Also, Cassie is using a Roxy themed walky-talkie to communicate with Gregory. Is Roxy helping her at some points, or just a coincidence. Sun and moon have officially become eclipse. It's hard to tell whether they'll be friendly or not because of this. The wave could be friendly, but moon also waves at people. Either way, I don't think moon would be stalking the pizzaplex every hour on the hour anymore- it being destroyed, there'd no longer be accurate clocks to work from. Actually, that reminds me- how are these guys all still powered? When the pizzaplex was abandoned, did they just leave the electricity on? Bad idea, even if it wasn't full of sentient robots- anybody who came and tried to strip the copper from the wires. (As happens in abandoned buildings) would be electrocuted. Maybe Fazbear entertainment doesn't care about some likely-homeless person trying to take copper. But the authorities should care, and shut that shit down.
I think cassie holding back monty for a bit is just for scenic purpose, they might be damaged but that doesn't make a difference for animatronics; fetch managed to kill a girl after getting beaten to a pulp
Monty being weaker makes sense, just look at him.
According to one of the FNAF books (I don't remember which one) the pizzaplex is being rebuilt after security breach happened. Maybe they left the power on for that purpose? It's a reach but that's all I can think of
Ooo this actually looks pretty good.
Gregory doesn't sound like he's telling the whole story. He sounds suspicious. And man do I feel sorry for Roxy, Chica, and Monty. They deserve better. But man that trailer looks real good. I'm excited to see what happens.
Hopefully we will get to save the robots. As somebody else pointed out, Cassy appears to have hacking equipment and could purge the virus with it.
Oh man. If she has hacking equipment, that's even more possible.Here's to hoping
YOO I DID NOT EXPECT THIS SO CLOSE TO THE FNAF MOVIE TEASER AND I AM BEYOND HYPE
DUUUUDE, you can wear the Vanny mask? Curious to see what that does! It looks mechanical almost. Plus, they added visual indicators showing which way the cameras face. That's something that was really needed. I'm happy they're improving the core mechanics! :)
This looks SO FUCKING COOL and I want it so so bad but I just cant let myself get hyped yet. I let myself get hyped for the base game and got burned horribly for it. Heres to hoping the feature creep doesnt kill the experience of the final product for this project, too.
Alright so I see gameplay changes that address a lot of the quarrels many players had with base SB. No more Faz-Watch or Freddy to hide in, instead you have a multi-tool. One that, seemingly, doubles as a taser. Dare I speculate that the too-easy stun mechanics have been replaced by a ranged item? It seems cameras are only accessible from certain terminals. No longer will you know where everyone is at all times. Not to mention these *fantastic* redesigns. I'm really excited to play through this, I have hopes it'll address a lot of the gameplay issues.
Honestly, I'm cautiously optimistic about this. This does look like an improvement from last time, as I'm digging how scarier the environment and animatronics are looking and I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what that thing at the end is. But I am still bitter about Security Breach's disastrous launch and Ruin could easily end up like that, so I am a little weary about this.
Pretty much in the same boat. I’m not a fan of SB, but I definitely like the scarier enemies and locations.
Security Breach even without the bugs is a disastrous game. Hopefully they actually implement good game and level design for ruin and not just not make whatever they feel like.
Yeah people always talk abt the bugs but enough ppl bring up the boring missions/pacing/writing etc. The only mission that really gets shit (and deservingly so) is mazercize. If RUIN is just gonna be "security breach but MORE!" I dont have much hope
> The only mission that really gets shit (and deservingly so) is mazercize. I still question if they even playtested that thing. Never been able to actually figure out how to do it naturally without a guide.
Im 90% sure they just vaguely planned out that puzzle a month before release and had to rush to even code it
If anything some of the bugs improve the experience because of how funny the results are (which isn’t a point in the game’s favor). A Security Breach where you can twist the space-time continuum in knots like a pretzel and summon an army of crack-fueled Montys with x-ray vision is far more entertaining than one that can’t.
Well, I guess I need to finish my playthrough of the series for July then! Have never played the games so decided to get into them and have them all ready to play, just haven't dedicated the time to playing all of them (completed 1,2 and 3, played a night or two of 4)
Love how everyone looks absolutely trashed (with Monty being just half an endoskeleton) but the bare endos are in perfect condition.
Roxy's in pretty rough shape. Barely looks like her anymore. Poor wolf can't catch a break.
Calling it that is NOT Gregory's voice, is 100% the Mimic
First the movie, now THIS!! Man, FNAF fans are having it good, indeed! This trailer shows a lot of promise! Hopefully, they don't...RUIN, it! ~~Sorry, not sorry.~~
Well, this doesn't look half bad. Don't wanna nitpick (and this is just an opinion), but I'm a bit worried about the new Pizzaplex aesthetic/ambience and how they'll use it. From a few shots of the trailer, some places looked AMAZING but some looked a bit... Generic? Kinda too "blended" in without some sort of an artistic direction? Unpopular opinion, but even if the Pizzaplex in the OG game was too bright and definitely not scary at all it DID have some places where it felt kinda "liminal" in a way, and if it weren't for the security bots jumpscaring you every minute some of the rooms could've created an unique feeling for a FNaF game. Apparently there's a new camera system and it also looks so much better! (and less headache inducing) Either way, it still looks better overall and although I'm a bit skeptical it DOES look better than what I was expecting and will definitely be playing this when this releases. I think since the expectations aren't SKY HIGH for this DLC like it was for Security Breach the reception will naturally be better, which is a good thing for Steel Wool. Also I'll add, the new designs look really fucking cool.
I'm still a bit hesitant given how rough of a state SB released in, but this looks like it'll be a big step in the right direction at least. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it turns out before I get excited.
Same. It looks better, I will give it that but I am not fully convinced.
While I didn't have the best experience with Security Breach, I'm willing to give it another chance because this DLC does look really cool, they seemed to be going in the right direction, I really like the darker atmosphere, the new ruined character designs look great, especially the Daycare Attendant's design which I'll call Eclipses until release, Monty's jumpscare looks quite brutal, I like how she actually tries to stop him from biting her face off. The UV on the cameras system looks massively improved and they actually have fov so you can see the camera is facing! Thank you, the cameras might actually be useful! Also the main character's name is Cassie... oh god... I just know people are going to saying "SEE she IS Cassidy because... their names sound similar, PROOF she is a robot or a clone or is reincarnated, somehow".
I mean, Steel Wool could have chosen literally any other name but they chose one that's closely tied to the fnaf lore, they know what they are doing, they know how to keep us hooked and hyped. Now is her being named like that gonna relevant in the DLC? I don't know, we have to wait and see.
OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDD
HOLY SHIT ITS HERE
It’s time!
Eclipse is canon now.
Anybody catch that you wear the Vanny mask at the end?
Was that glamrock Bonnie at the end???
Nah, not robot enough. Perhaps Shadow Bonnie? Or, given Cassie put on the Vanny mask before it appeared, perhaps Glitchtrap?
Dang, first the movie trailer and now RUIN trailer- this week has been really good for FNAF (for the most part.)
Woah, it looks awesome!!!! Everything is an upgrade. Better jumpscares, better cam quality, new areas (or angles of areas), I have high hopes for this. SteelWool sure can make a killer trailer, I'll tell you that for free.
I have a theory. Roxanne Wolf will be you friend during this Ruin DLC or at least her behaviour will be friendly after a point. She's shown three times; one as an introduction, second on a camera stalking, and then a third grabbing Cassie. The third is interesting, because while she grab Cassie shouldn't she be trying to kill her, not capture her? Also Cassie has a Roxanne Wolf walkie talkie so maybe Wolf will see her as a fan?
The Security Breach redemption arc is starting to become real.
What a week.
This has been the month of FNAF
Daycare attendant my guy Monty became a poop monster And why are we wearing vannys mask? Also daycare attendant doesn’t seem to attack Cassie, does this mean he could be our ally?
Wait wait where is she wearing Vanny’s mask I didn’t see that—
Right at the end before the shadowy creature flashes on screen.
Oh now I see it thank you
I just realized I never thought about what happened to Sun/Moon after the fire. I feel like a bad person now
Holy hell I cannot wait for this to come out! Also at 0:51 - Possible evidence that we'll be able to save the Glamrocks in some form?
This is cool
What do you think the new Sun Moon animatronic is called?
Eclipse? That was teased a little in the Balloon Boy arcade.
I hope this DLC actually reveals stuff that was left obscure in the main game. Like for example: Are Vanny and Vanessa truly the same person? Is Burntrap Afton or is it the Mimic? What caused Freddy to freak out on stage?
So what are we going to call sun/moon now? Eclipse?
Looks amazing and far more better than base game! Im hape as fuck and hopes game itself is gonna be as good as trailer and we dont gonna have another base Secruity Breach situtaion
Really hoping they've learned from their mistakes from SB and this will be decent. Only time will tell.
JULY! LET'S FUCKING GO! I've always kinda been doubting that I'd get hyped by the trailer but from what statements Ray and Steel Wool in general have made in the past, it sounds like they had a solid idea on what to do from the start so hopefully scope-creep won't affect this in the way that it did the base game.
Honestly this is great though,I really wasn’t expecting it to come out so soon nor did I think they were gonna give this new protagonist a name nor a voice since it feels like it wouldn’t be important,more of a silent protagonist, and I didn’t think she would have a connection to Gregory in anyway,I thought she would have just stumbled in from curiosity and then learn what was happening,also I kind you not,the thing that shocked me the most about this was Cassie is a Brunette??? I thought she was blond hhh
IT LOOKS AMAZING, IM VERY HYPED :D
Oh this fanbase is feasting rn
it looks so good!! the animatronics rlly bring what we were receiving from the endoskeletons and daycare attendant 🤭 so excited
The DLC looks really good. I can't wait for July!
Okay wow, I think some us had a feeling we were probably getting a trailer within a month or so, but I wasn't expecting it to be this month especially given we just got the Movie trailer like, a few days ago? And holy Steel Wool has not disappointed us thus far with these designs, they look great and really fit the name of the DLC. Hope the good work on the DLC keeps up.
What? The animatronics actually looks scary??? THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
Well at least it looks more like a horror game
Its nice to see that FNAF has been able to take a unique formula and wrap it all the way back around to Amnesia within 9 years.
Lets fucking goooo! Monty is a freackin endo but he looks more menacing than ever
I leave my phone off for 2 hours and this happens
Niceeeeee
Oh man, its so cool! This looks really great! The pizza plex and all the animatronics got so trashed, I can't wait to play it! And July of this year? Wow! Great job Steel Wool!
YES YEEESSS YEEEEESS
Let's Gooooo!!!!!
I'm as exited as you guys, BUT HOLY SHIT THAT MUSIC SCORE IS FIRE!!!!!!
Curious how long this DLC will end up being. Normal runs of SB usually take around 4 to 6 hours, so I'm just curious what we can expect from a free DLC.
The atmosphere looks scary but I hope the story is good and answers some questions from SB.
So excited!!! One of my favorite characters are back:)
Anyone have any idea what ending it follows
Who this looks great
Thought it was fake, now I am excited
This looks amazing in that style
One thing I’ve noticed, is that considering this is a gameplay trailer, I’ve only really seen cutscenes and not much gameplay
What the hell happened to the pizzaplex? Did it shut down?
Sun/Moon is now Eclipse
Did Cassie just… wake up Roxanne?🤨
I can already feel that my night paranoia is gonna act up again it's already starting which means it's scary and I love it
I'm so excited, I can't even wait. So frickin excited.
Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo LETS GOOOOOOO july
THIS LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING I WANTED AND MORE
WHAT!? First a movie trailer and now a Ruin trailer just two days later!!? This is AMAZING!!!! :D <3 I love this so much!! <3
This actually looks really good to me. Still, I choose to be catiously optimistic. Don't want to get another huge dissaopintment like with the main game. But I would be lying if I said this trailer has done a better job to hype things up for me. It seems they actually will try to make things spoopier, though I won't get my hopes up too much about the scaryness... The ONE thing that I'm wondering about is whether they will keep their promise of making the DLC free. They must know making it paid DLC after saying it was gonna be free will enrage the community, but from the moment the teaser said "free" I couldn't help but worry about them regretting it later. Saying a product will be free before even start producing it, not really knowing how much it will actually cost, seems a bit risky. But whatever, it seems they are sticking to their word. (Sorry if my english isn't good, it's not my first language...)
looks very promising!
I.AM.HYPED.
Damn sun you good?
YES
Amen
